Added support for running the local copy of babel for a given project

[david-driscoll]

This removes the dependency on atom-typescript's local copy of babel, and allows a given project to use whatever version they like (assuming the core .transform api doesn't change anyway).

Also adds support for loading configuration from .babelrc

@david-driscoll big fan of yours. Just added you as an owner. Do and support whatever feature you want in this project all the way up to releasing new versions 🌹

Let me know if you have any questions.

[david-driscoll]

@basarat big fan of yours too! 💯

I'm actually running into an strange issue here... when running with debugSync it works correctly, then when running as a process it fails... silently... right at babel.transform... now to figure out what's happening.

I've had stuff like that happen. Running atom as node can be weird: microsoft/TypeScript#2503 .

console.error with a try/catch around it to see whats going on.

@nycdotnet, have any time to test it, I believe you worked on the original integration.

[nycdotnet]

I did. Ironically the very reason I did it was for the scope-per-iteration behavior of let in for loops which is now available in TS 1.7. I don't have time to test it until after my Pluralsight course is done, but maybe in a week or two. If it feels magical like "holy crap it worked" then it's probably fine. That was my acceptance criteria.

BTW: loved your DNR episode.

💯 . Because of that episode I sneak peaked the syntactic highlight code (I have a new non atom version for TypeScript) and will definitely be adding code lens (alm-tools/alm#41 not hard to do thanks to CodeMirror's inline widget API) 🌹

[david-driscoll]

I've been using this lately without any large issues, so I'm going to drop it in, and see if something gets reported.

[nycdotnet]

Thanks man!

Nice work. I'm glad you were able to promise-ify it as well.

As soon as my course is done, I'll be able to come up for air and check it out.
